Is love just a spell?
Casting illusions making
your heart swell.
Casting illusions to
cloud your sight.
Casting illusions to
your awareness.
Creating self imposed
wounds that time can't
even heal.
Creating wounds so
heavy that you stumble
on even ground.
Creating vision so
blurred that you
self sacrifice all.
I found a antidote
to the spell.
Thy love for self.

‘ thy love for self ‘ great writing destiny ..
Thank you! I am glad that you enjoyed it!
Self love a very important theme in the current generation❤️ Thanks for shedding light on this!
Thank you! Self love is very important especially during these times. It's true what they say. If you can't love yourself then you can't love someone else or accept love from someone else.
True indeed!
Love is fulfillment in life i guess. Why so... because everything becomes amplified when you are sharing love. THe birdsong, the blueness of sky, the kiss of the ocean on flesh and the stinging pain of heartache too. Love is like turning up the volume on lifes amplifier to max.
Great poem to make you think and reflect one your own experience.
Self love, well without a healthy serving of self love your love for another will be undermined by self doubt (unworthiness) which may well lead to failure. It certainly did for me long ago.
Thank you for sharing your personal perspective on love. It's interesting how we can easily claim love for another soul but not ourselves. Human minds are contradictory not able to see though the black and white smoke we are taught to believe in. It's why we find it difficult to love ourselves. It's why we are self critical. We can see through to the soul of someone else beyond black and white. But when it comes to ourselves we can't connect to our soul beyond the black and white. Even on a spiritual journey I personally still struggle to see myself only through the mind from it being so ingrained. But I am learning to love myself more everyday.
Maybe falling in love and having that love fail is a part of the process of learning to love/value ones self. Though having said that I have met people who seem to love themselves, and no one else, in their young years.
Very true! I don't believe in the word failure anymore. At least I am trying to see it as a experience that brings myself closer to success. I think learning to see a broken heart once the fog has cleared as a experience that leads you closer not only to love of self but finding the right love you truly deserve is how you heal your heart's wounds. It's the reason we connect with other souls to understand ourselves. To know what we want and don't want in relationships. Everyone is different when it comes to love. Different journeys but it feels like we are all the same because like minded people attract. Some are just destined for a easier love life while others like most artists are walking difficult paths but we learn more. We understand more about the world and are better equipped for future lessons if we don't repeat the cycles. It's why we create art to teach others through our own experiences.
The attraction can be a spell, but true love is never one. You are most emphatically right about "love for self." It means you are complete, self- assured, and responsible. As such you can open your heart to others.
A lovely poem full of wisdom and an optimistic outlook. Enjoyed it a lot. - Phil A.
Thank you for your kind words! I love your personal perspective on love and I am glad you enjoyed reading the poem.
The miracle cure of self love. Wonderful write Destiny. 😉
Thank you for reading and responding with kind words!
Self-love is at times the absolute hardest. Well written.
Thank you! I couldn't agree more. It's also the most valuable lesson to learn which is why it's the hardest. Once you master self love than the rest of life's lessons will be easy to learn.
